Well a lamination and a struck through are different. Lamination issue usually flow in a straight line. A struck through is does not follow the same pattern as a lamination. A struck through usually is struck in a spot and spreads outwards. Also on your coin, I would see that the affected area, has a varying thickness. But looking at the full image, it does look like there is a line flowing towards the 'WE' area. I didn't notice this the last time I looked, But with the line present, I'm now learning on a lamination issue now.
